What is the difference between homo-polymer and copolymer? Give one example.
Answer
Homopolymer is that polymer in which only one monomer is used. Example : Polythene. Copolymer is that polymer in which more than one monomer is used. Exmple : Nylon-66.
Polymer $($ Poly $=$ many ; meros $=$ units $)$, is a high molecular mass molecule in which large number of small repeating units, monomers, are bonded together by covalent bonds.
